Free and open to the public daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Oct. 24, the festival organized by the Ann Arbor Art Center showcases a variety of contemporary art.

Detroit's Chazz Miller was one of the artists on hand Thursday morning. He's hosting an all-day workshop allowing visitors to drop by and paint large plywood cutouts shaped like butterflies, with plans to have them displayed around Ann Arbor.

Miller said he made about 200 of the cutouts and he expects them all to be painted in the coming days. He invites people to drop by his pavilion at their convenience.
